It’s been two months since the last blog post. During that time the East Meets West Masterclass programme came to an end, and our group exhibition, 22, took place over the weekend of March 17 - 19, as part of Format Festival’s Format 22 Presents. Many of the 22 participants came to Derby to set up the show and finally meet one another. It was a really lovely time: an intense collaborative installation and a well-attended private view, followed by an event at Quad, and catching up over food and drinks.

In February I had a great day on the south coast shooting images to use in my Disrupted Landscapes series before heading to the Towner Gallery in Eastbourne. For the past few months my focus has been on making a small publication of this project, and I’ve been following two different ideas. There have been many tests, but I feel like I’m gradually getting closer to a version that works.
Time by the sea
Finally, I was extremely happy to have my short video, Chalk, accepted for the Ramsgate International Film and TV Festival this June. As much of the video was shot on the Kent coast, it feels really good to have the opportunity to screen it in the area.
